Bride dies after jumping over cliff shortly after getting married

Moments after her fiancé proposed to her, the recently engaged woman fell 100 feet to her death.

Yesim Demir, 39, and Nizamettin Gursu went to a beautiful cliffside location in northwest Turkey on July 6 to watch the sunset after he had just proposed to her.

Gursu reportedly went back to the car after reaching the scenic location to get a picnic and some celebratory drinks when he unexpectedly heard a spine-chilling scream.

When he quickly returned to his fiancée, he discovered that she had fallen about 104 feet after plunging off the cliff.

Gursu promptly called for help, but after 45 minutes of resuscitation efforts, medics declared his wife-to-be dead.

Friends of the tragic woman told local media that the cliff, located in Polente Cape in Canakkale, was a spot many people came to admire the views.

‘This is a place where everyone comes and watches the sunset,’ they said. ‘However, the roads are very bad and there is no precaution on the edge of the cliff. A fence should be drawn here, precautions should be taken.’

Gursu told local media: ‘We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol.

‘Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down.’

The authorities immediately closed off the area and opened an investigation, according to reports, with access to the cliff only being allowed again ‘in a controlled manner’ on July 15.
